Jessica Chastain Goes for Gold in Gucci Dress & Metallic Platforms on ‘Memory’ Red Carpet at Venice Film Festival 2023

Jessica Chastain brought a dazzling display to the red carpet. The actress hit the premiere of “Memory,” an upcoming film she stars in, at the Venice Film Festival 2023 on Friday.

Chastain went head-to-toe covered in gold. For shoes, although they were hidden due to the hem of her dress, she chose a pair of metallic gold platforms with towering block heels, elevating her look by at least 5 inches.

Chastain has been working for years with Stewart, who also dresses A-listers like Viola Davis, Julia Roberts, Amanda Seyfried and many more, and is behind all of Chastain’s most memorable red-carpet looks. Recently, the two team teamed up to create Chastain’s Tony Awards look. She donned a flowing yellow Gucci gown with a matching cape and a multi-toned strapless bodice with a sweetheart neckline.

The Venice Film Festival will feature international movies and cinematic shorts debuting for the new season. The 80th annual event is also taking place during the SAG-AFTRA strike, which has current interim agreements to allow U.S. actors to appear at the occasion. Aside from numerous premieres — including “Maestro,” “Priscilla” and “Ferrari” — the week will conclude with its starry amFar Gala, featuring performances by Leona Lewis and Rita Ora.
